Undocumented Migrants: Employment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to confiscate the assets of people found to be working illegally.
- Answer
-
We work to prevent individuals from making financial gains as a result of their criminal activities and will seek to seize such assets where possible; to this end, section 24 of the UK Borders Act 2007 (which came into force on 1 July 2010) gives immigration officers the specific power to seize cash from offenders, bringing them into line with police officers in this respect.
